 KARACHI: The police have arrested four suspected militants who were planning a series of terrorist attacks, a senior police official said on Saturday. "The four men were arrested in an early morning raid from the eastern district of the city and they belong to a religious and political party," Tariq Jameel, the Karachi police chief, told a news conference. The police seized revolvers and ammunition from the militants, who have admitted to plotting terror attacks in Karachi. "During initial interrogation they have confessed they belong to a group of 22 young men, some of whom are students," Jameel said. "They were planning terrorist activities to create unrest and disturb the peace of the city."
| "This is Karachi. Of course we were planning terrorist activities!" |
Jameel declined to identify the party to which the militants belonged and said they were arrested on information given by Syed Waseem Akhtar, who was arrested from Hyderabad last month. "The arrested militants don't belong to any madrassa and are all trained in the use of firearms and explosives," he said.
| One might ask where they were trained in the use of firearms and explosives, and who trained them, and who provided them or gave them the dough to buy them. But that's assuming one is not a Pak policeman. |
